“It was a long time coming for us to have the opportunity to race today and I’m really proud of the effort the Badgers put forth,” head coach Yuri Suguiyama said. “Good wins in all of our competitions today to kick start the era of the Soderholm Family Aquatic Center.”
Emma Lezer set the tone for the Minnesota women. She teamed with Emily Cook, Emma Linscott and Olivia Bloomer to win the 200 medley relay, then clocked in at NCAA B cuts to claim the 100 breast and 200 breast.

“After almost 11 months without racing in the pool or competing on the boards, it was simply great to see our student-athletes have the opportunity to be a team today and do what they love,” Minnesota head coach Kelly Kremer said. “We are all over the map right now in terms of level of preparedness, but at least we have a starting point and a meet under our belt. Back to work on Monday!”
Purdue’s men’s team started fast with a victory in the 200 medley relay, the squad of Michael Juengel, Trent Pellini, Ryan Hrosik and Nikola Acin clocking in at 1:26.00. Acin led off the 400 free relay, teaming with Pellini, Hrosik and Nick Sherman to win in 2:55.32.
